I understand your reasons but if you send only one crewmember to the surface and get killed there is no way to return to the ship and you must restart, giving no options to any task running on the ship with the rest of the crew. This can hurt the bug hunting process IMHO.

The method of switching between your ship and the planet is still an argument we are having lol - it is tricky, but the current system is simply in place for functionality and is definitely broken. You will absolutely be able to return to your ship, even if your crew emmbers are all dead.

We will get a fix for this in as soon as saves are fixed - so maybe 2 weeks?
